COLUMBUS, OH—The Liquid Crystal Project will be embarking on their second European tour June 4-10, performing from their critically-acclaimed second album The Liquid Crystal Project 2. The band will be sharing the stage with Ghostface Killah of the Wu-Tang Clan and Dialted Peoples in the Czech Republic and Germany.
With their unique blend of Jazz with a heavy Hip Hop influence, this is the Liquid Crystal Project’s second time touring Europe. In 2006, the band released their first album, which garnered attention across the world from Japan to Amsterdam. Since then, the Liquid Crystal Project has released a second album and has been featured on Ma Dukes Collection, a tribute to producer J Dilla.

More about The Liquid Crystal Project:
Jazz Hop is more than just a cliché music fusion. It's drums that make your head nod like it did in the Golden Age of Hip Hop. It's a saxophone that makes melodies that mimic your favorite emcee. It's chords that put you in the mind frame of J-Dilla and John Coltrane at the same time. It's fans that love the energy of real Hip Hop and the mellow feeling of Jazz.
Producer J Rawls, Keyboardist B-Jazz, Saxophonist Charles Cooper and Drummer Rob Riley embody the term Jazz-Hop as their second album continues to infuse elements of true Hip Hop with fundamental Jazz. Their influences run deep and their shows include dope originals and covers from Grover Washington Jr., Slum Village and Herbie Hancock.
After releasing THE LIQUID CRYSTAL PROJECT and touring the U.S. and Europe in 2006, THE LIQUID CRYSTAL PROJECT 2 was released in Fall 2008 and the group continues to push the boundaries of Jazz and Hip Hop.

Featured on the Ma Dukes Collection, a tribute to producer J Dilla that featured The Roots, Bahamadia, Wordsworth and more
